Should I include javascript 1

[jimmyshoes]

I'm wrestling with the decision to use javascript or not. Javascript will enable me to design my own buttons for the entire site, as opposed to sticking with a mixture of submit buttons and my own buttons. My site is aimed at busineess users ( so maybe a higher percentage of these users will have javascript disabled ). The question is should I allow a minority of potential users ( I'm guessing about 2% ) to dictate the design of my site as it is seen by everyone or is it better to use <noscript> to inform a this small percentage of users to enable javascipt and then I can ddesign teh site how I want it. I notice that sites like youtube and hotmail are inoperable without javascript

Hi

First create a usable site, then spice it up with JavaScript.

Anyway, JavaScript is about functionality, not design.
